Those times turned out to be the best the Class 1A meet has ever seen.

Friday’s time of 10.48 seconds in the 100 meters broke the previous record of 10.71 set by Jordan-Matthews’ Corey Wilkerson in 2008.

His 200-meter dash time of 21.71 seconds edged the prior record of 21.72 held by East Carteret’s Antoinne McNeil since 2006.

Friday’s 48.00-second running of the 400-meter dash topped his own record set last year at 48.12. Somehow, though, it didn’t measure up to his goal of 47 seconds.

Now, Friday will play the waiting game to see how his times stack up against the state championships in the other three classifications to be held over the next two weekends (3A today, 2A and 4A next weekend).

“I really hope it turns out I have the fastest time in the state,” Friday said.

Gaston County’s next-highest finisher was Cherryville’s Rajah Key, who placed second in the girls discus with a throw of 119 feet, 10 inches.

Highland Tech’s Rebecca Rudisill placed fifth in the girls 400 meters at 59.66 seconds, Lincoln Charter’s girls 4x800-meter relay team took sixth place at 10:33.03 and Cherryville’s Daniel Owens placed eighth in the boys discus with a toss of 123 feet, nine inches.
